Only problem it is petrol, im right in thinking they dont like water much?

Cover everything in spray grease and you'd be fine so long as you aren't going in really deep water.

[300bhp/ton]

So, did you buy it?

Nice Choice. I myself already is a fan of this! Hurry Up!

The issue with Petrol engines is they need electrics to generate the spark meaning high voltages and water

Does the 2.8 V6 happen to be a Cologne?

Recon the drivetrain in one of those would take the 24V Cosworth version?.... I feel a plan forming

I love the style of those old 80's Ford Bronco's and Chevy Blazers.
Must stem from watching them on TV programs as a yoff.

The problem with modern car manufacting these days is they all want a world wide platform. You dont get the distint styling anymore.

Ah, the rarest car with the 24V engine in it.... the one it started in

They're always a good buy, more so with the estates. You get the engine to play with as well as the callipers, which make a nice upgrade bolted on to an XR4x4. Diff goes to a kit car builder.

I'd be very surprised if it isn't a straight fit. The Electrics are pretty easy since you have a donor car.
